It’s a good swing get up there come on I mean that’s a that’s a lower strike it’s funny from a video we did previously when you had those low strikes spin went up speed dropped down height went through the roof that when you’ve missed it a bit is almost 170 at 1900 stable

All right guys welcome back to the channel so a recent visit to Scottsdale Arizona MH Michael we tested the brand new Black Ops line from pxg yeah good event was a great event yeah they uh they host they they they put on as good

Of a a show as as any company when they bring you to HQ don’t we were treated properly very very well we uh had the absolute pleasure of playing with uh Brad and Mike m y which was an absolute treat 19 played in 1984 Masters had the

Lead after 10 I love that story that’s a great and he hits it great he does he does I mean to be honest all the guys and girls there are incredible um but we came away with some toys it’s a really unique experience Mikey in that obviously you go there you settle down

Put your uh clubs away then you go straight to the range to fit with the idea of being within 24 hours actually probably closer to 18 hours you have your brand new you you 14 new clubs built for you I know didn’t ask for them they were nicely given you needed some

New clubs to be fair you’re struggling yeah I haven’t had a new set in a few years so was uh it was nice so following uh following our fit on the Range within as we said 18 hours this little puppy was waiting for me on the first te to

Head out and play with the guys um we had heard a lot of stories when we met the guys at the range uh especially it was Brad I believe I I think prob Brad and Mike were saying how many of the tour players had been fitting to the standard model of the

Black Ops line little bit larger obviously you know 10K being the the buzzword buzz term of this product launch season and it’s in that realm and that’s quite something for the PJ tour players to yeah to take that one on WE you and I did not end up with that one

No we ended up in the Black Ops tour which sits Great Looks the other one sits great and looks great but this thing is clean it has some similarities to some other drivers that we’ve seen throughout the last few years yeah carbon everywhere weights forward bottom

Extreme weight system I will I will say it now it’s the best pxg driver I’ve ever hit well it’s honestly not even close no no it is me in terms of you maybe a robot testing or something like that it I’m sure there’s metrics where

It is close and and you know the sort of incremental changes to me the experience of playing a pxg driver has never been this good no no and it’s something excited to fit customers with like it’s it’s one that can compete against the the rest no issues

It might outperform some of the rest which is which is great it’s it looks great it’s performs I mean you’ll see it in this video but it is it is very very good okay let’s let’s open up with a few okay right let’s uh let’s do some

Testing in this sort of gamer spec that I got fit into um let’s give it a world okay okay Michael first uh first initial thoughts when you address the ball with this thing I I fell in love with it honestly the look of it I went I could be

I could be playing honestly anyone’s driver the one thing is I’m a fan of what they do or I’m a fan of having Carbon on top it doesn’t bother me if it is or isn’t like titles isn’t and others are I’m not looking to see the transition anymore that’s

Something I’ve sort of found as a little preference of mine yeah I don’t want to see that seam yeah yeah yeah just cover over that MH but each of the it doesn’t bother me that much honestly but if I have a preference it would be to not see it

Off the aie get back oh back in as well so here’s the thing Mikey there was a lot of that going on in Scots though that came back quite a bit for you it did didn’t it’s quick too just a flat bullet Mikey yeah it’s uh that was a nice flight that’s the

Links flight right there isn’t it 2,000 and under 100 feet watch your run it’s a good swing get up there come on I mean that’s a that’s a lower strike it’s funny from a video we did previously when you had those low strikes spin went up speed dropped down

Height went through the roof that one you’ve missed it a bit it’s almost 170 at 1900 stable that one felt probably the best strike Mike look look quick I don’t think it was maybe the quickest felt like a good swing though get up there like most inbalance yeah the strike felt

Good yeah strike is z z dead nuts Perfect 14 launch 1900 that’s really good okay Mikey all right let’s see it old Old Faithful don’t call it that sounded smashed yeah it was good creeping good spin on that one good spin good ball speed yeah come on back turn come on yeah just

Enough felt quite good that one too yeah sound a little higher no not really just a maybe toer it’s fastest driver it’s very fast man decent strike yeah a little below the center but have you driven this green before in real life no last time I played here I would honestly I’d be

Lucky if I hit it 250 off the te jeez I was like 100 m hour Club head speed person last time I played here I still don’t think I would drive even now unless I played the forward t or severely downwind fany going give it that try

What we can go test it in real life do it for the commentators that was sent thin be bit thin good mess all right right round two let’s see getting there this is quite stable this isn’t it good I like the shot shape I find off of it it’s a little flatter

Flight this as good as I can it it’s pretty pretty money right there big bounce get up there oh L spin three put 171 it’s quick as well yeah okay we’re trying to find our way a little bit with this one yeah we had to wait in the heel

Went to the toll the nice one that started right wasn’t coming back no so we’re back to the heel again but we’ve lofted back up to nine right avoid that low spin one I can’t believe that’s flowing straight that saw that one off near fell over not bad okay one more round with

Gamer better sounded better slower but was quite it I sounded crushed yeah it was good was good okay Mikey Black Ops not surprised very good quite the performance fast High launch low spin standard deviation it’s very good and we played around with some of the weights and we kind of kept

That you know back in that heel weight but super stable even on some of the Miss hits very very impressive I could gain that literally straight away yeah I mean you pull up your your current gamer I mean it was nothing really in it I will I’ll say this now if you’re if

You’re a company that has a driver and you can yeah hang with hang with a tsr3 you’ve done something really really well I actually almost think as well if I’d hit the game first I always just think the driver you hit first gets a little

Bit of a yeah you know tough goal just because you’re you’re you’re getting your speed to where you are and then once you reach that level so um yeah very very similar strikes attacks the same paths the same Dynamic lie a little bit more upright quite like that actually quite like

That yeah I I mean I would experiment a little bit more I’d experiment a little bit more with that yeah I’d love to put my VF in there m because there was a difference in weight when I swung my tight list like I really felt like I could physically hit the swing the

Titles faster that’s a 5x right that’s a five yeah versus the six in event is blue so I’d love to sort of even things out a little bit and get it really dialed in i’ have no issues putting that in the bag not even close I mean the way

You hit it it sounds great it performs you don’t look like you’re struggle with a a miss one one way or the other I mean there’s a couple shots in there that you know probably went maybe too low left that you know we’ve we’ve left in there

But as a as a driver I mean that Black Ops is impressive it’s very very impressive well by the time we start doing all of the drivers somewhat head-to-head it will be interesting to see where it lands and where it sort of it feels like it’s it’s in that

Tsr3 ai1 smoke ai1 AI smoke um triple diamond toally we’re yet to see what LS really is qi1 LS yeah yet to really to know that um but we’re starting to group these together now in terms of you know what they are I want to get the standard

One in yeah yeah well I think that’ll be cool to add it in that test we’ve done earlier today with the Ping and the tail mid I think the thing with their original or the other Black Ops o311 they have that 10K story there were some

Shots you hit that you know you low toe low heel I mean if Black Ops tour is not 10K it sure has help performed like a 10K driver did was really really impressed very very impressive no it hung the whole way uh with mine and and sort of performance- wise you know carry

Numbers not sacrificing anything in a Black Ops driver I would love to put in the v I’d love to put in the VF 5x and start playing with those weights a little bit um I think if we could sort of maybe get more weight in the back we only 2 and

1/2 G in the back that’s right yeah so I think if we could get something like I know it goes in 2 and 1/2 G increments something like 12 and 1/2 something like 12 and a half in the back two fivs on the toe in the heel

That feels like good driver very well balanced okay we need to get that kit we need to get the the full the full K of kept for the pxg heads uh and see how much more there is to unlock definitely but that that literally is it is a hell

Of a performer that’s for sure really really impressed um okay guys I I think honestly this is the first time we can say you know go go and put pxg drivers alongside anything if that’s my game or it really is it’s hard to compete with

With kind of what’s been in my bag for a while now and it’s right there it’s the biggest praise we can get yeah it’s it’s impressive yeah okay want to compare yours again to your um tsr3 see how it does for you want to compare the

Standard so a little bit more testing to do the P exgs along with the Fairway Woods um and Highwoods as well good stuff okay stay tuned for a little bit more of that guys we’ll see you again Soon

  1. They've gone in at too high a price point. They need to be competing at the Cobra , Mizuno level if they're serious about making inroads into Ping, Cally, TM and Titleist.

  2. Ian & Mike. Please test the AutoFlex in Ian old Driver vs PXG new Driver to see how the Golf heads act with AutoFlex so we can see how Go the Driver head can be adjusted.

  3. Focus on solutions rather than dwelling on problems. Approach challenges with a positive mindset, seeking opportunities for growth and learning

  4. I’m on the fence about either a TSR2 or the standard Black ops, this video came out at the perfect time. Going to get fit for both and see what the numbers are, but good to know either option is a good one

  5. Does PXG want to be a Niche player like Miura or compete with the big names Titleist, Taylor Made, Ping, Cobra, Mizuno?

  6. The COR in the club head has been maxed out years ago so you won’t get any longer drives on centre strikes and the only thing you now pay for is “forgiveness” on off centre hits and sound/feel differences between different manufacturers. Aside from than, new shafts to confuse the day.

  7. Looks like I’m going to have to give PXG some serious consideration for my next driver! Can’t wait to try it.

  8. Had a fitting last Friday with the standard model, and the spin was CRAZY low (for me, obvs). I am about 99mph driver swing speed (some day we'll get that over 100, lol), and with my gamer (PXG XF Gen 5), I was in the 2500-range, but with the Black Ops I was seeing a bunch in the sub-1700 range (including a few in the 1200 range). What's bonkers to me is that the ball still launched well – 10.5 degree head. Sound and feel were AWESOME, I just couldn't seem to get a consistent strike with it, and my gamer shaft (Oban Devotion) has an all-fit sleeve on it, and the screw wouldn't work with it in the newer head, so I couldn't get an apples-to-apples comparison, unfortunately. That being said – if I could find a deal on the head-only, I might be tempted to swap it out and tinker – the sound and feel are THAT much better than the Gen 5 XF. Super curious to see how it fares for you guys when you get it in.

  9. I play TSR3. If you had a robot hit every drive dead in the middle, idk if TSR3 would be the longest. But round after round, my misses are so good with the TSR3. Low ones don’t over spin, high ones don’t dive bomb. It’s just the total package driver. Also looks and feels exceptional

  10. Bo11uck$! Your kidding! How much better…
    I just bought the 0311 gen 5 with the Hzrdus smoke blue 6S shaft for €179 😱
    Anyway, I’m going to tinker with that one.

  11. Seems like the extra 200 revs or so on Ian's gamer was the only advantage PXG sounded really good in the studio so much fun to watch for us 85mph old geezers Cheers from Norcal

  12. I received my Black Ops yesterday and can't wait to play tomorrow. My 0311 XF Gen 6 is good; the Black Ops is great. With the Heroes discount, I paid $449. That is a competitive price against any of the major brands.

  13. I just snapped my ventus blue tr 6x from the adapter. Could i simply replace the adapter and still use the shaft? Any idea how much it would affect the flex and the profile of the shaft?

  14. Couldn't help but notice that the "Gamer" specs weren't complete….was that the 50g S, 50g X, or 60g X VF? 🤣🤣🤣

  15. The one thing people overlook is the ability to dial in a pxg product. You can fine tune them through the hossle adjustments and the weight kit. I like to tinker and try different shafts and it's so easy to adjust. Just buy a weight kit.

  16. Based on the numbers and ball flight Ian hit the PXG 0311 Black Ops T1 better than any of the 2024 drivers hit to date. No other driver hung in there with his gamer. We don’t see max height on the comparison and I’m wondering if average spin under 2,000 is any issue but it definitely performed very well. I’m getting a fitting late winter early spring for a much needed new driver and I’m adding the Black Ops to the fitting. Looking forward to the 2024 Bracket challenge!!

  17. Nice review here (as usual). Went for fitting for Black Ops 2 weeks ago, driver just arrived. Spin came down significantly off my current gamer which was shocking. Look at address and feel checked all the boxes for me. Been pounding balls last day in simulator against old driver and Black Ops hands down is better for me. Much lower spin, faster ball speed. Cannot wait to take out on my course soon. Couldn’t be happier and this video also solidifies the spin issue I was having. Well done.

  18. Great video guys, any chance you could revisit this club and see how it performs with heel and toe strikes to give us average golfers an idea of the forgiveness or lack off from PXG?

  19. Tried the new Black ops 2 weeks ago in Glendale ,Az at PXG and I was very disappointed as it didn’t even come close to my PXG Gen 4 ,I did buy the Black Ops 7 wood that was awesome. Before buying I would definitely recommend a fitting as we tried shafts weight changes and couldn’t even compete with my 3 to 4 year old driver

  20. Nice to see them making strides in that department, most reviews I've seen in the past with PXG drivers haven't been the most favorable. Always good when companies step up their game

  21. Bob Parsons once said you can’t enter a farting contest unless you are prepared to shit your pants! I use this quote a lot and love the guy!

  22. Ian, Mikey I watch everything you guys put out and I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve cut short one video, that’s how good they are. Member of the New Golf Club St Andrews, would be delighted to host you round the Old Course if your ever over. Equally would give my right arm to come over to you guys for a fitting. On the bucket list. Sad day as well Ian with Steven Davis announcing his retirement, been a good servant. Keep up the good work 👍

  23. Thanks for the Review Boys…. Nice to see you guys get excited about a product, When you are excited so are we….The Black ops Tour looks like a real winner Impressive,,,

  24. as I already bought the new Black Ops, I was glad to hear your review on it was also good (haha). I value your opinions and love love the channel! Thanks!
